Screen 9: Daylight Savings Status
Use this screen to either verify the correct automatic Daylight Savings status
or to set Daylight Savings manually.
1. If Daylight Savings setting is MANUAL, press the up and down arrows to
turn Daylight Savings Time on or off on the appropriate days of the year.
If you have an AUTO Daylight Savings setting, the console displays the
appropriate setting based on the current time and date.
2. Press DONE to move to the next screen.
Screen 10: Elevation
Meteorologists standardize barometric pressure data to sea level so that sur-
face readings are comparable, whether they're taken on a mountainside or by
the ocean. To make this same standardization and ensure consistent readings,
enter your elevation in this screen.
Note: If you do not know your elevation, there are several ways to find out. Many atlases and almanacs
include elevation for cities and towns. You can also check with the reference department of your
local library. The more accurate you are, the better; but a reasonable estimate works too.
1. Press the left and right arrows to move from one numeral in the elevation to
another.
2. Press the up and down arrows to adjust a numeral up or down.
3. To switch between feet and meters, press 2ND then press UNITS.
4. If you are below sea level, like in Death Valley or Palm Springs, first enter
the elevation as a positive number. Then, select the "0" immediately to the
left of the leftmost non-zero digit (the second zero from the left in 0026, for
example, or the first zero from the left in 0207) and press the up and down
arrows to switch from a positive to negative elevation.
Note: You can only set the elevation to negative after you have entered a non-zero digit and when the
zero in the position immediately to the left of the left-most non-zero digit has been selected.
5. Press DONE to move to the next screen.
